Wheeler Batters Firestone Big Time
A jubilant Jack Wheeler joined the postgame press conference at Ballpark of Fort Wayne HS to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Firestone Fires pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the MGM Gamblers catcher, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led to the 14-8 Gamblers win.

"He made it look easy," said Pedro Ojeda, manager of the Fires. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Jack Wheeler singled in the 2nd, doubled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Francisco Vargas in the 7th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.

This year, Wheeler is batting .650 with 2 home runs and 8 RBIs.
